"Both the Xbox and 360 versions were pretty much a given"

Wait...what? Really? I thought they stopped making games for the Xbox.

"Edit that or a little kitten will be runned over by a subway"

Wait...what? Really? An entire subway? The platform, tunnel, tracks, and all? Or do you mean the sandwich shop?

i dont give 2 craps about this game. give me HD REMIX NOW!

STREET FIGHTER FOUR
FULL OF COUNTRY GOODNESS AND GREEN PEANESS.

@ 13th:

Yeah, not only the train, isn't that great?

@Danmartigan

lol... it's even better raw!

Oh there will be one group happy about this, they be the ones in the corner with the parrots and the eye patches arrrrr.

BWAHAHA HA AHAHAHA PENIS!

As long as I have a method to connect arcade controllers to my PC, I'm in.

Ryu to Ken: "I want you to scream at my taint as loud as you can."

I can't see SFIV selling on PC even if doujin games and silly fighter dreammatches like Mugen are popular.

I'm sure if we had a choice with all doujin games to go console, i'm sure most would go for it. But since games like Eternal Fighter Zero and Immaterial and Missing Power are on PC, we're kinda stuck with it.

Look at Melty Blood. It got popular enough to hit the Arcades and then the PS2. Akatsuki Blitzkampf is another rising PC to Arcade game. I'd figure most who have a doujin fighter on their PC only play because it's on PC.

Unless Capcom expect to put some custom stuff on the PC version, I can't see many sales on it.

Wow, I can't believe people are mentioning Melty Blood, M.U.G.E.N., and even... MAME....
First off, who actually owns Melty Blood for pc? I bet the people who actually buy it, and don't download a pirated copy is a small percentage. M.U.G.E.N.? Give me a break!! It's a free program! And MAME, wow, just wow. You're going to compare SF4's release on PC to illegal emulation? Those are EXACTLY why it's a stupid idea for Capcom to release the game on PC. Because only 3 people will pay for it.

@Nick: It costs just about 0 to distribute a PC game present day- the only costs Capcom will be incurring for a PC port would be programming the game to install and uninstall in Windows, adding control support, and the most basic compatibility testing at minimum. At that point it would be very difficult for them NOT to turn a profit with the PC port. If they go the extra step and add customization, optimization, and fine tune the controls and USB controller support, it'll clean up. People will be buying it just to convince Capcom to get around to porting Dead Rising and RE5.

ohh and as for MAME and people who are bashing it.

are you aware of what Most fancy home built arcade cabinets use to make there pretty retro graphics fly across the screen?

<<<<hint it's a windows/linux PC hooked up to a real arcade joy stick you can use to play street fighter 4 with.>>>>>>


I made one of these cabients for fun lots of people do.



With the PC version of street fighter 4 you can play it with something like this.

and I am going to do that and buy the xbox 360 port if needed I doubt I want it though I can play it on my mame cabinet with the PC inside it.;

there is 0 work for capcom and for you throw that in your PC powered MAME HDTV arcade cabinets are you will have arcade perfection your very own street fighter 4 arcade machine.

The specs are nothing it's all dirt cheep weak PC hardware. and there you go these will be the PC reqirements to run the game on high.

Sorry if it has already been said but can you say mods?

If this picks expect to see every type of fricking fighting game there could ever be created. We could possibly get Master Chief vs Metroid vs Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher vs a Teletubby if you get what i'm saying.

Or it could just turn out to be a completely overlooked game that no one plays on PC.

like anyone is going to buy street fighter iv anyway.

I for one will buy this on PC the day it comes out. And I don't care what people think about it.

I know enough people with a PC and no console, they'll enjoy this. Not that it will lead to any increase of sales or anything...

"Ballsackyuken"

That is all.

I have had mixed feelings about SFIV since the details started hitting. Now that I know it won't be on any platform I own, I have even less reason to care. I suppose I could play it on PC but I am an Ubuntu user.
